Capítulo 20: Found
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the forest, a little girl in pajamas followed closely behind Little White in front of her. Her pajamas should have been yellow, but they were already covered in mud stains. Her face was covered in dirt, and two tear tracks could be clearly seen on her dirty little face. If Zhou Ji were here, he would probably be heartbroken. This was the daughter that he had been searching so hard for.
"Little White, did my daddy send you to pick me up?"
"Woof!"
"Then is my daddy alright?"
"Woof woof!"
"Daddy must have been anxious to find me. It's all my fault for not waiting for him to pick me up obediently..."
"Woof woof..."
Xiao Rui and the Little White dog seemed to be having a conversation as they walked through the forest one after another.
Suddenly, Little White, who was leading the way, stopped and bared its teeth.
Xiao Rui also slowly stopped. She nervously leaned against a tree and did not make a sound.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
The dog barked with all its might.
In the bush in front of it, a leopard slowly walked out with its body slightly bent. Its gaze swept over Little White and finally fell on Xiao Rui who was behind it. Its beast eyes flickered with a faint green light.
All the fur on Little White's body exploded as it madly barked at the Leopard. However, the difference in size was too great, causing the leopard to directly ignore it. It walked around Little White step by step and approached Xiao Rui.
Facing a predator that was many times bigger than itself, Little White was not afraid at all. It adjusted its body and once again stood between the leopard and Xiao Rui.
The leopard seemed to be angered by Little White's words. It looked at Little White, swung its tail, and slowly moved its body to find an angle.
Suddenly, a sharp stone spike suddenly shot up from the ground, instantly piercing the leopard's belly and its spine.
The Leopard felt pain and wanted to struggle. However, the more it struggled, the bigger the wound became, and its internal organs flowed all over the ground.
Little White seemed to be frightened by this scene as well, and instantly stopped barking. But very soon, it started barking again.
From the bushes at the side, a young man walked out. He looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He took a glance at the leopard that was already dead, and his gaze fell on Xiao Rui.
"Where did this little girl come from? If you run around the forest in the middle of the night like this, your family will be worried." The young man took two steps forward to get closer, but Little White bared its teeth and screamed even more fiercely.
Xiao Rui, who was leaning against the tree trunk and did not move, did not say anything. She quietly hid on the other side of the tree trunk.
"This dog is really fierce." The young man looked at Little White that was already at his feet. It raised its head and barked at him. His face was very helpless. "You brat, if you dare to be fierce to me like this in our house, you will be slaughtered and boiled with dog meat hotpot!"
It would have been better if the young man did not say this, but when he said this, the dog barked even more fiercely.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm scared of you, okay?" The young man took two or three steps back helplessly, and the barks of the Little White dog finally calmed down.
"Little girl, where is your family? Do you have a communication jade token or the number of your family? Let me call them for you." The young man tried to make his voice gentler.
Xiao Rui still did not respond.
"How about I take you to a nearby city?" The young man spoke again. "The city guards there should be able to help you..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped and slowly raised his hands. "Where are you from? Do you want to rob me? My family is very rich. You can contact my family for 100,000 crystals."
Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see the front and back of the young man's neck. He was already pointing at the three wind blades. It seemed like the young man would activate the wind blades at the slightest movement and kill him.
"Take a step forward and die. If you make a move, die!"
A gloomy voice sounded. Hearing the voice, Xiao Rui looked up, and bean-sized tears flowed out of her big, gray eyes.
"Daddy!"
Zhou Ji looked at the young man warily. He slowly moved to Xiao Rui's side and held her in his arms.
Xiao Rui was also sensible. She knew that she couldn't distract Zhou Ji now. She just grabbed his clothes tightly and buried her head in Zhou Ji's arms. Soon, Zhou Ji's chest was wet with tears.
"Xiao Rui, don't be afraid. Daddy Is Here..." Zhou Ji patted his daughter's back gently, and his tone was full of heartache.
"Dude... if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
The young man's arm was already stiff, but he still did not dare to move at this time.
Zhou Ji's gaze also fell on the young man. He had some impression of this person, as if he was a passenger on the same level as him. His gaze swept past the leopard's corpse at the side without leaving a trace.
"Leave this place."
Zhou Ji spoke coldly. The wind blade slowly moved to the side, but it was still aimed at the young man. It could be activated at any moment.
Seeing this, the young man let out a sigh of relief. He took two steps back, turned around, and leaped into the forest, disappearing without a trace.
Looking at the young man's back, Zhou Ji frowned slightly. Under the full power of the probing technique, he saw the young man disappear the moment he left his sight.
"What a dangerous guy..." Zhou Ji muttered in a low voice. When he was sure that there was no danger, he looked at his daughter in his arms again. However, he didn't know when his daughter had fallen asleep. However, what surprised him was that in the sight of the scouting spell, he could faintly see spiritual essence flowing in his daughter's body. Was this the Qi Cultivation Realm?
She was at the first level Qi Cultivation Realm?!
On the other side, the young man who had left kept wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
"That was close. That little girl is actually the daughter of this killer. I was wondering why the killing intent was so strong just now. He had almost slaughtered the bandits of a village. But then again, how could a four-year-old Qi Cultivation Realm be so monstrous..."
While he was thinking in his heart, his body did not stop at all. He quickly rushed in another direction.
He had only received some small news. He had heard that some treasure had landed on planet Bai Shi'er. Not many people knew about it, so why would someone come to kill him? He wondered if the guards that his father had arranged for him were good enough? Whatever, he had to go to the first city of this planet as soon as possible and take a shuttle back. Whatever treasure, it was all a f*cking lie!
...
The sky gradually brightened.
A familiar cry made Zhou Ji scramble to place the large chicken wings that had just been roasted on the bonfire on the small square table at the side.
"Xiao Rui, don't cry. Daddy is here, he's here..."
His daughter had been like this since she was young. She would cry every day after she woke up. At first, he thought that it was just a common situation for children to wake up. However, after his daughter could speak, he found out that his daughter often had nightmares and dreamed that some monsters were chasing her.
Zhou Ji also wondered how his daughter, who had been blind since she was young, could dream about monsters. However, the child could not say anything. He could only suspect that his daughter's eyes might be caused by some kind of curse, and that the nightmares might be the same.
Children were still very easy to coax. Zhou Ji thought that he was already a mature parent, so he quickly used the large chicken wing to attract Xiao Rui's attention.
